Strategy

We start with core foundations - direction, connection, impact & value.

​

We won't tell you what you need. We'll ask about your business & then work out the "need" & the scope with you.

​

Our Foundations Strategy solutions include:

  1. Facilitated Strategy Workshops

  2. FastFoundations* Programmes (great for start-ups & small teams)

  3. FirmFoundations* Programmes (essential for established businesses with audiences to consult)

 

*The difference is generally the extent or depth of research involved. Whatever solution you prefer, know that we'll talk your language. No buzzwords. No jargon. We won't insist upon "finding your why". We promise never to use the phrase "authentic values".

​

We'll challenge where needed & will keep our thinking grounded & relevant. You'll end up with a clear, relatable output that you're excited to run with.

Alignment

There's no point having solid foundations if your business doesn't stand on them.  To get really strong, you also need to align all of your Commercial, Cultural & Creative activities with your foundations strategy.

​

Rock's approach to Alignment is to:

  1. work out what needs to be done - i.e. what gaps there are between the new strategy & the current business activities  

  2. identify who needs to do it - i.e. what can be managed by you internally vs outsourced (either to us directly or a specialist partner)

  3. coordinate the delivery plan - i.e. working with your internal team &/or external partners (either your own or sourced by Rock) to ensure all areas of the business are working cohesively in line with the strategy.

​

The clue's in the name... Rock.Partners works with a hand-picked bunch of specialists in their respective fields - from culture scientists to process consultants; IP lawyers to digital marketers, designers & copywriters. 

​

Our alignment programmes are delivered on a retainer basis. We put together the best partnership team for your business' needs, acting only in your interests - no kick-backs, no commissions.
